Dependable Tape Backup for Mid-Range and High-End Computer
Systems Quantum DLT 4000 half-inch cartridge tape drives
are designed for heavy duty-cycle computer applications in the
mid-range to high-end of the tape drive market. The DLT 4000
tape drives offer an unparalleled combination of 20 gigabytes
(GB) native per cartridge and a native transfer rate of 1.5
megabytes (MB) per second.

Quantum DLT7000

Quantum DLT 7000 Half-inch Drives Quantum DLT 7000
half-inch cartridge tape drives provide leadership in data
storage and retrieval for the most demanding data back-up,
archive, and near on-line storage applications. The tape drive
features a native transfer rate of more than 5 megabytes (MB)
per second, with a native capacity of 35 gigabytes (GB).
Building on the traditional strengths of DLT tape technology,
the DLT 7000 tape drives provides significant advantages in
performance and capacity over any others in their class.

Quantum DLT8000

The DLT
8000 - the latest DLT drive from Quantum features 40/80GB
with compression. To ensure backward compatibility with existing
DLT 7000 and DLT 4000 systems, the drive uses the same widely
available DLT tape IV media.

DLT tape backup systems protect
business-critical data content in enterprise and business
computing environments. The DLT 8000 is Quantum's latest
advance on the industry-standard DLT tape technology roadmap,
giving users a viable migration path for data protection.
Overall, DLT tape systems have an installed base of more than
one million drives and 30 million cartridges, making access to
previously stored data particularly critical for IT managers.
To ensure backward compatibility with existing DLT 7000 and
DLT 4000 systems, the drive uses the same widely available DLT
tape IV media. The DLT 8000 will also read DLT tape III and
DLT tape IIIXT media, giving users the ability to read data
from the DLT 2000 and DLT 2000XT.

With a native capacity of 40GB (up to 80GB
compressed) and data transfer rate of 6MB/second (up to
12MB/second compressed), the DLT 8000 platform represents a
15% gain in native capacity and 20% gain in native performance
over current DLTtape systems.
